Last updated: August 2026 dataWoven cotton table linen — including tablecloths, napkins, and other table coverings — is one of the most widely traded categories in the household textiles sector, serving both retail and food-service supply chains. The US schedule distinguishes damask constructions (6302511000) from plain woven goods (6302512000) and other cotton constructions (6302513000 and 6302513500), with a residual line for remaining cotton table linen (6302514000); the weave type and product form drive classification at the 10-digit level. Damask tablecloths and napkins, characterized by their reversible figured patterns, command a premium in the hospitality segment and are subject to closer scrutiny on construction claims. Importers should ensure that fabric weight, weave type, and finishing details are accurately declared, as these factors affect both classification and applicable textile visa or quota requirements.

Damask is a specific figured weave in which the pattern is created by contrasting the weave structure (typically satin versus sateen) on a single-color fabric, making the design reversible. Jacquard-woven goods with multicolor yarn or non-reversible patterns may not qualify as damask. Importers should obtain weave specifications and, if necessary, a textile analyst's opinion to support a damask classification under 6302511000.
Yes. The US schedule has dedicated lines for tablecloths and napkins (6302511000 for damask, 6302512000 for plain woven, and 6302513000/6302513500 for other constructions), while 6302514000 covers remaining cotton table linen articles that are neither tablecloths nor napkins, such as table runners or place mats.
